To be eligible for a Student Support Grant (COVID-19) you must
** Have been outside of Australia in a location specified in the Australian Government COVID-19 travel restrictions at the time those restrictions were instituted, and
** Have incurred unexpected costs as a result of the travel restrictions, and
** Be enrolled in subjects, or granted a deferral (commencing students), or granted leave of absence (returning students).
When To Apply?
You can apply any time until 31 August 2020.
How To Apply?
To apply for a support grant, you will need to complete a short application form which will require the following information
** Your personal details and a short statement of your circumstances
** Digital copies of receipts (eg scan or photo) for costs incurred. Receipts do not need to be translated into English.
